"A day without sex is like a day of being married."
So it's pretty obvious The Chemical Buddha was never married. We actually think no woman ever even hinted around and or tried to get knocked up by him so he might feel obligated to get married. But he'd heard his friends complain enough about the lack of sex, that he figured he never would get married. TCB thought it was one thing to not get laid by the multitudes of women out there. And something else entirely to not get laid by the woman who you spent all your time around. It just didn't make sense to him. He'd rather start out the day knowing he wasn't going to get laid, instead of starting out the day thinking he was going to get laid, only to find out he wasn't.
Do you have high or low expectations?
How often are you disappointed in your life?
Are you a dreamer or do you think having a dreams is stupid?
How do you manage your hopes and dreams?

Take it or Leave it
“If I wanted to be celibate, I would have gotten married.”
The Chemical Buddha learned early on that the procurement of sex was difficult for most and almost impossible for him. And while he heard women complain about not getting laid, he thought it had more to do with who was offering. Not with their chances. Because women could get laid anytime they wanted. Sure, they might not be able to choose the person they wanted grunting and sweating over, under, beside or behind them but they could still get laid. He also never understood why women, when informed of their power, didn’t think they actually had as many options. Regardless of how often he did (or didn’t) get laid, TCB figured his chances were a lot better when he had multiple partners available to him, instead of hitching himself to one partner for the rest of his natural born life (and possibly after). Of course, married people still had options: take it or leave it.
How does having a lot of available options make you happy? How does it make you overwhelmed?
What power/talent/skill do you have that others recognize, but you don’t?

Fill the Void
“A wedding ring doesn’t cover the hole.”
We’re not sure if The Chemical Buddha’s early childhood was more fucked up than other people’s, but we do know he had some challenges to overcome. This saying is actually something The Chemical Buddha’s mother always said to him before she went ‘out’ to spend another night with a ‘sick’ friend. At his impressionable age, this idea would later frame The Chemical Buddha’s entire understanding of fidelity and relationships. It also framed his thoughts on commitment and one’s responsibility to those commitments. That said, The Chemical Buddha was committed to something: not committing to anything.
Do you follow through on what you commit to? Or do you just commit without thinking?
What do you do when you don’t want to honor your commitments? Do you let the other person know or just do what you want to do and hope they don’t find out?
